Bare element shunt resistors help lower thermal stress of PCBs
Current sensing for motor control applications often requires robust current handling and the lowest possible PCB temperatures. Unfortunately, high current or overload current handling typically means higher PCB temperatures. One cost-effective and popular solution to these requirements is a raised bare element sense resistor. The elevated bare element yields PCB temperatures of 30% to 40% […]
Common mode filter for automotive Ethernet reduces line-to-line capacitance
TDK Corporation has announced the introduction of its new ACT1210E Series (3.2 x 2.5 x 2.5 mm (L x W x H)) of common mode filter for automotive Ethernet 10BASE-T1S. Mass production of this new common-mode filter began in February 2023. This product is the industry’s first common mode filter for automotive Ethernet 10BASE-T1S. Adopting […]
Copolymer resin meets stricter regulatory requirements for 1.5Kv solar systems
SABIC launched a breakthrough polycarbonate (PC)-based copolymer resin, well-suited for photovoltaic (PV) connector bodies, that meets stricter performance and regulatory requirements for emerging 1.5Kv solar systems. The new LNP EXL9334P copolymer resin achieves the highest comparative tracking index (CTI) level (UL PLC0) and IEC as Material Group 1 (IEC MG 1). It also delivers low-temperature […]
Eight SiC Schottky barrier diodes rated at 1200V
Diodes Incorporated announced the release of its first Silicon Carbide (SiC) Schottky barrier diodes (SBD). The portfolio includes the DIODES DSCxxA065 series with eleven products rated at 650V (4A, 6A, 8A, and 10A) and the DIODES DSCxx120 series with eight products rated at 1200V (2A, 5A, and 10A). These wide-bandgap SBDs bring the benefits of significantly […]
Electrostatic shielding now available for high-voltage reed relays
Pickering Electronics now offers optional electrostatic shielding for its 10kV stand-off Series 67/68 SIL/SIP reed relay families. Electrostatic screening protects against noise that can otherwise occur between the coil drive and high-voltage circuits. This new screening is in addition to Pickering’s internal mu-metal screen which eliminates magnetic interaction when devices are closely stacked. Series […]
